Eclipse User Library Generator 1.0.0

© Eclipse

For those Eclipse users out there that might be annoyed when having to create a custom user library sourced from multiple Java files in multiple sub-directories, I have developed a simple tool that will generate a user library file from a root directory. This takes the time and effort out of manually selecting files in each sub-directory. The User Library Generator generates a user library file by walking all sub-directories of the root directory, looking for files that have a “.jar” extension only.

You can download the the file here:

• Eclipse User Library Generator 1.0.0 (145 KB)

Documentation, complete with setup and usage, is included in the download.

Enjoy.

   Where’s the source? Curious what this would look link in Ruby as point of comparison.

   Yeah, I’ll do that. I’m currently working on a new release of the software that will add a new level to the user experience. I’ll be cleaning up the doc and adding in the source code too.

   It would be cool to see you republish my work on your site using the Ruby language. I’m excited.

   What about putting together a Getting Started guide on your site for a Java weenies, like me, that has not made the plunge yet? Yeah, I know, I’m a slacker…

   As a Ruby script. See http://bh.tumblr.com/post/3127989

   Yep, very cool…and with so few lines of code to boot!

   There is a requires statement at the top of your code that I assume means you are pulling in additional code or libraries?

   Do you get all the libraries for free as well? In other words, you have XML support out-of-the box with Ruby versus having to download third-party JARs with Java?
